OUTSIDE THE DOOR won this last year and though 10lb higher was conceding the runner-up 19lb when scoring at Punchestown ten days ago and can go in again. Silvertown was well supported in the latter event but unseated at the fifth. Goodnightngodbless followed an impressive victory on this track with a very good run under a penalty at Limerick but Gateau De Miel looks a bigger threat. Runner-up in the Killarney National last month, he's 4lb higher but Conor Brassil's claim takes care of the extra. Lake Chad was engaged in the 7.43 at Kilbehhan last night.
